The characteristic function has been an important tool for studying completely non unitary contractions on Hilbert spaces. In this note, we consider completely non-coisometric contractive tuples of commuting operators on a Hilbert space…
The celebrated Sz.-Nagy-Foia\c{s} model theory says that there is a bijection between the class of purely contractive analytic functions and the class of completely non-unitary (c.n.u.) contractions modulo unitary equivalence. In this paper…
A characteristic function is a special operator-valued analytic function defined on the open unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n$ associated with an $n$-tuple of commuting row contraction on some Hilbert space. In this paper, we continue our study…
We introduce the notion of characteristic functions for commuting tuples of hypercontractions on Hilbert spaces, as a generalization of the notion of Sz.-Nagy and Foias characteristic functions of contractions. We present an explicit method…
Characteristic functions of linear operators are analytic functions that serve as complete unitary invariants. Such functions, as long as they are built in a natural and canonical manner, provide representations of inner functions on a…
The goal of the present paper is to introduce and study noncommutative Hardy spaces associated with the regular $\Lambda$-polyball, to develop a functional calculus on noncommutative Hardy spaces for the completely non-coisometric (c.n.c.)…
Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…
A particular case of [07] was generalized from contractions to polynomially bounded operators in [G19]. Namely, it is proved in [G19] that if the unitary asymptote of a polynomially bounded operator $T$ contains the bilateral shift of…
We show that the constrained characteristic function is a complete unitary invariant for J-constrained completely non-coisometric (c.n.c.) row contractions, where J is a WOT-closed two-sided ideal of the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz…
We show that (for the weak operator topology) the set of unitary operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is residual in the set of all contractions. The analogous result holds for isometries and the strong operator…
We develop a Sz.-Nagy--Foias-type functional model for a commutative contractive operator tuple $\underline{T} = (T_1, \dots, T_d)$ having $T = T_1 \cdots T_d$ equal to a completely nonunitary contraction. We identify additional invariants…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of contractive operators and strongly continuous semigroups on separable Hilbert spaces using the notion of rigidity. In particular, we show that a "typical" contraction $T$ contains the unit circle times…
In this paper we show that every conjugation $C$ on the Hardy-Hilbert space $H^{2}$ is of type $C=T^{*}C_{1}T$, where $T$ is an unitary operator and $C_{1}f\left(z\right)=\overline{f\left(\overline{z}\right)}$, with $f\in H^{2}$. In the…
Quasianalytic contractions form the crucial class in the quest for proper invariant and hyperinvariant subspaces for asymptotically non-vanishing Hilbert space contractions. The property of quasianalycity relies on the concepts of unitary…
The characteristic function of row contractions and liftings of row contractions are complete invariants up to unitary equivalence for row contractions and liftings of row contractions, respectively. We provide alternate proofs for these…
To each finite-dimensional operator space $E$ is associated a commutative operator algebra $UC(E)$, so that $E$ embeds completely isometrically in $UC(E)$ and any completely contractive map from $E$ to bounded operators on Hilbert space…
Consider the action of a subgroup $G$ of the permutation group on the polynomial ring $S := k[x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n}]$ via permutations. We show that if $k$ does not have characteristic two, then the following are independent of $k$: the…
We study completely non-unitary contractions $T$ with finite dimensional defect spaces $\mathcal{D}_T$ and $\mathcal{D}_{T^*}$. We present a complete classification of all such contractions $T$ that satisfy a generalized property of Hardy…
The main issue we address in the present paper are the new models for completely non-unitary contractions with rank one defect operators acting on some Hilbert space of dimension $N\leq\infty$. This model complements nicely the well-known…
